Detail
CAT5E RJ45 Panel Mount Extension Cable
PCM-0164 CAT5E RJ45 Panel Mount Extension Cable features a shielded 8P8C RJ45 male plug terminated to a circular RJ45 female bulkhead receptacle through a CAT5E STP cable assembly. The panel-mount connector incorporates a threaded housing and lock nut, creating a fixed Ethernet access point on equipment enclosures, control cabinets, and communication devices. Four shielded twisted pairs maintain impedance consistency for 10/100/1000Base-T networks, while metal shielding and grounding continuity across both connectors help suppress EMI in electrically noisy environments. Overmolded strain reliefs reinforce cable exits against repeated flexing and vibration.

Applications :
Industrial HMI
Extends Ethernet ports to operator panels and touchscreen interfaces.
Industrial Gateways
Creates external network access points for gateways, routers, and communication controllers.
Security Systems
Supports embedded Ethernet interfaces in NVRs, surveillance equipment, and access control devices.
Vehicle Communication Equipment
Used in mobile communication systems, vehicle gateways, and onboard monitoring platforms requiring shielded Ethernet connectivity.
Automation Control Cabinets
Establishes a rugged panel-mounted RJ45 interface for PLCs, industrial PCs, servo systems, and edge computing devices operating in EMI-prone environments.

Key Features :
Shielded Twisted Pair Construction
CAT5E STP cable with four twisted pairs helps maintain signal integrity across industrial Ethernet links.
Continuous EMI Grounding Path
Shielded connector shells and drain wire establish grounding continuity to reduce electromagnetic interference.
Gigabit Ethernet Interface
Supports CAT5E-based 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet communication through a standard 8P8C RJ45 connection.
Threaded Panel Mount Design
Bulkhead receptacle and lock nut create a secure Ethernet interface directly on equipment panels and enclosures.
Internal Network Port Relocation Solution
Transfers onboard RJ45 interfaces to externally accessible panel locations without modifying Ethernet pin assignments.
Reinforced Cable Exit Protection
Overmolded strain reliefs minimize mechanical stress caused by vibration, cable movement, and repeated insertion cycles.

FAQs:
Is shielding connected through the entire assembly?
Yes. The RJ45 plug, bulkhead receptacle, and cable shielding maintain continuous grounding between both ends.
How is PCM-0164 panel mount connector installed?
The bulkhead receptacle passes through a panel cutout and is secured using the supplied threaded lock nut from the rear side.
Does PCM-0164 support Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The assembly uses an 8P8C pinout and CAT5E shielded twisted pair cable supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet communication.
Can custom cable lengths be manufactured?
Yes. Length, connector orientation, cable category, shielding configuration, overmolding, and mounting hardware can be customized for OEM and industrial integration projects.
Is PCM-0164 compatible with CAT6 Ethernet cables?
Yes. The panel mount RJ45 interface accepts standard RJ45 plugs and can be connected to CAT5E, CAT6, or CAT6A patch cables. Network performance depends on the overall cabling system.
